There are also awesome Downloads: 1 - Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack 2 - Sound Shapes (Let's be honest, it's a Vita game) 3 - Super Stardust Delta 4 - MotorStorm RC 5 - Escape Plan Then there's also the enhanced ports, or otherwise awesome games that you should and can get if you don't have them on consoles: 1 - Rayman Origins 2 - Mortal Kombat 3 - Metal Gear solid HD Collection 4 - Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend 5 - Ultimate MArvel vs Capcom 3 6 - Fifa Soccer 7 - Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention 8 - MLB 12: The Show 9 - Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 10 - Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Even if you take out the console ports, it's still got plenty you can't get anywhere else. it's got a great list and downloads. Let's comapre it to the 3DS, which I will remind you has an additional year's worth of time on the market: 3DS Retail Exclusives: 1 - Super Mario 3D Land 2 - Mario Kart 7 3 - Kid Icarus Uprising 4 - Resident Evil Revelations 5 - Theatrhythm Final Fantasy 6 - Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance 7 - New Super Mario Bros 2 8 - Tetris Axis 9 - Nano Assault 10 - Pilotwings Resort 11 - Paper Mario 3D Not all that impressive, really. Here are the downloads for the system: 1 - Pushmo 2 - Colors 3D 3 - Mutant Mudds 4 - VVVVVVVV There are some others, but they're all completely unknown stuff. hell, colors, Mudds, and VVVV are all unknowns too, but they all got 80+ reviews, apparently. Now for the ports and upgrades: 1 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 2 - Super Street Fighter IV: 3D 3 - Cave Story 3D 4 - Dead or Alive Dimensions 5 - Star Fox 64 3D 6 - Tom Clancy 7 - Metal Gear Solid 3D 8 - Tales of the Abyss 9 - Ridge Racer 3D 10 - Lego Pirates of the Caribbean 3D 11 - Sonic Generations |
You're forgetting some stuff like Mighty Switch Force and Zen Pinball from the eShop as well as some other good stuff and some upcoming stuff like Ace Combat, Code of Princess, Mario Tennis, Heroes of Ruin, and Monster Hunter.
Also, I'm pretty hyped for Street Fighter x Tekken for the Vita and I already own Virtua Tennis and it plays pretty good for the few minutes I've spent with it.
There's some weaker 3DS versions of some of those Vita games, too (ie: Rayman and BlazBlue) if it matters.
I know you didn't include things from 2013 but whichever portable he buys (and, as I stated before, the Vita seems more like his kind of experience) is going to be a long term purchase. Next year's games are still relavant, right? I think it would paint a clearer picture if people just looked at official release lists or a Metacritic top 10 or even Wikipedia instead of a partial list of select titles with comments like " Not all that impressive" to set a particular tone.
I'm just sayin'.
